Ben Wins! | Winston & Ben
June 24th was a significant day for many reasons. Our wine maker and our wedding coordinator celebrated their birthdays and we celebrated the marriage of Winston and Ben! Everyone rolled in that Saturday in high spirits and they continued on throughout the day and well into the night.
The vineyard was this couple’s ceremony location of choice and it was perfect for their sunny summer day. They shared their vows with one another and proclaimed their love with their families and friends present. After that, the adventure truly began!
Signage has been trending in the weddings world as of recent, and I think it’s safe to say Winston and Ben following right along with this one (and then some)! Take a look at their massive welcome sign. It was almost as tall as me! We had to take a picture of it next to me for the comparison.
Another massive part of their wedding was their wedding party. They believed the more the merrier when it came to their group! They had an impressive lineup, all of which helped bring “Benston” together for their happily ever after.

Seven Years Strong | Kailie & Daniel
We shared our Father’s Day with Kailie and Daniel as they were married here at the vineyard. This couple were high school sweethearts and had been together an impressive 7 years! On the 18th of June we were there as the two became one with their marriage.
Kailie and Daniel had bright colors for their beautiful spring day. Their coral colored accents were perfect to brighten up their day. They kept the trend going throughout different areas of their wedding with their homemade décor. We love seeing our couples get crafty with their wedding day décor. It further personalizes their wedding day and make it beautifully unique to them!
After the couple symbolically blended their sand during their ceremony, the group was ready for cocktail hour around the corner on the East Lawn. Guests were encouraged to share their photos on Instagram with their cleverly crafted hashtag before they found their table and headed to the reception. Dinner was served, cake followed, and this bunch became another one of Keswick Vineyards happily married couples!
Congratulations to Kailie and Daniel and thank you to our vendors!

A Divine Divide | Gelmi & Dave
What happens when you have a more intimate guest count? The answer is options!
Gelmi and Dave were married here on Saturday, June 17th with a more intimate guest count of just around seventy. It was the magical number that allowed for them to have some fun with the layout for their reception. With their smaller size they decided to have a little fun. The couple divided the Sperry tent and had one side be for formal dinner seating while the other had elegant Paisley & Jade couch sets that created conversational areas for everyone to enjoy.
Their dinner tables were beautiful! They preferred long “King’s” tables versus round tables for dinner seating. This gave the tent an even more royal and regal feel which, as you can see, was a wonderful compliment to the tent ceiling’s natural lining. Each table had rich ivory linens, lush garland, and (of course) plenty of candles! The comfortable seating allowed for guests to take some time off of their feet and relax even more while soaking in the amazing views Keswick Vineyards has to offer. They were enjoyed not only for their reception, but during their cocktail hour as well!
We love when our couples mix it up with us here and the vineyard, and Gelmi and Dave did just that!

Newlywed Ninja | Lauren & Mike
We married a celebrity here at Keswick Vineyards! Our Ninja Warrior contestant, Mike, married his dream girl, Lauren, on June 11th.
Being all the way from California, they knew they wanted to incorporate many unique ideas to their vineyard wedding so that their friends and family were attending a one of a kind event. Having spent time in France, the couple decided to give a nod to the Pont des Arts (Paris’s Lock Bridge). At the lock bridge, couples write their names on locks, seal them on the bridge as a commitment to love, and then throw away the keys in the river below. Lauren and Mike featured a mini version of it at their wedding!
After a successfully sunny ceremony, guests were ready for the reception and Lauren and Mike were ready to make their grand entrance as husband and wife. Instead of doing a traditional first dance, this singing couple decided on a “first song”. They took to the dance floor and sang their first song together in front of the ones they loved the most. Later on in the night, Mike surprised Lauren with a special song he’d written just for her!
The Cozy Caravan Club made an appearance for their first time ever at Keswick Vineyards and whipped up homemade cotton candy as a late night treat. Guests loved their creative flavors and we were able to capture some cute photos of Mike and Lauren enjoying their first taste!
Big congratulations to our newlyweds. Enjoy your honeymoon in Switzerland!
